Aspects regarding the history of the Basarabian church museums

Abstract

The author of the article writes about the diocesan museums opened in Chisinau, Balti, Izmail, which functioned until June 28, 1940. The idea belonged to Archbishop Seraphim Ciceagov. The Museum in Chisinau contained manuscripts of great value, as well as a Triod, written on parchment from the 14th century CE . In 1940 Soviet troops destroyed buildings and more objects. The author urges us to know the past, because a nation without history has neither present nor future, and every museum is a part of the cultural heritage of a nation.
